Sparks! Ignition – The Sparks! Ignition <strong>Grant</strong>s for Libraries<br />
and Museums initiative is a funding opportunity developed<br />
by IMLS to expand and test the boundaries of library, archive,<br />
and museum services and practices. It provides small, targeted<br />
investments in high-risk, innovative responses to the challenges<br />
and opportunities facing cultural heritage institutions in a<br />
rapidly changing information environment. Innovation is the<br />
key to using time, money, and staff more productively, and to<br />
helping cultural heritage institutions improve their services,<br />
processes, programs, and products. These grants will support<br />
the testing of specific innovations and foster broad sharing of<br />
information about what works and what does not.<br />
